This is What Super Smash Bros. Looks Like on Valve’s Source Engine

May 28, 2014

The Super Smash Bros. series may be known for its fun gameplay, but it's also one with a lot of trailer history. Fast camera angles, pausing characters in-frame with their name splashed onto the screen, and tons of special effects are just some of the qualities that every Smash Bros. trailer shares. But what would it look like with non-Nintendo characters?

YouTube user crazyhalo has put together a Super Smash Bros. trailer of his own… except it's on the Source engine. Gordon Freeman, Chell, Bill, and other Valve character assemble for an awesome trailer that could very well be better than what Nintendo has delivered. Check it out above.

This trailer is based directly off the official Super Smash Bros. Melee trailer. You can see a video where a comparison between the imitation and original are shown side-by-side on crazyhalo's page.

If you enjoy these user-made Source style videos, I also recommend checking out DasBoSchitt's Gmod Idiot Box series. They're sure to deliver quality laughs.
